Gotta go with number 5, but the bows look good so it is a hard call.

Clearly #1
To take a stave like that and get to bend so uniformly shows master level sB skills.
Lots a great bows here but this one rises to a different level of skill.

You guys are all wrong, clearly you have no eye for fine self bows. #9 has it all and a bag of chips. Anybody can bend osage.

Nice bow.

Hawaii has plenty great bow. Waiwi is one of the very best whitewoods on earth. Get a very nice silver color when seasoned, thin bark, no need chase ring. Pefect.

not to be a Pollyanna,  but they are all really, really nice bows this go around.  I am having a hard time picking one, and I have one in the running.  This is a really good representation of the amazing craftsmanship on this site.  They are all so unique too.

Hedge, you are right, but to make it a fair test, the same Archer would have to do all the shooting. What do you say it we send them all to you along with 10 arrows, and you can post the results?

A good shot is more  about the Archer and an arrow tuned to the bow than the bow itself.  You can be a good bowyer without being a good archer.
